MenuItem Class
Note:  The MenuItem class is used for classification only.
This class is a menu item that the end user can select and that terminates the menu interaction by the user. OpenROAD implements two types of functionality for MenuItems:
• Menu buttons trigger a Click event when a user selects the item.
Although you generally associate the MenuButton with a variable, the value of the variable is not meaningful.
• MenuToggles and MenuLists are associated with variables that contain an actual value that you can access in a program.
For example, you might provide a menu toggle that lets the user toggle between verbose and brief messages. When you print messages, you can check this variable to determine whether to print a long or short version of a message.
Variables associated with MenuButtons and MenuToggles are of type integer. Those associated with MenuList can be either integer or varchar.
